hey you sounded great.. right up till the Sudden link went down... I can get on the phone but no computer yet!!! maybe they will replay it or we can hear it again online....

Thanks Karen.. glass what you heard sounded Ok...I only caught 5 seconds of it myself....when I placed the phone down I suddenly remembered the time delay, so I quickly turned the volume up on the pc to hear myself say ' goodbye ' to myself !..lol

it was clear enough nice sound.. then my server dropped the load!!! Sorry I did not get to hear the rest.. but I am quite sure you did beautifully....! I really hope someone is able to help you soon.. good luck to you..

Cool Neily Will this be in a couple hours or for us here California..will be 1:30 am our time but you guys already fell back an hour so that will actually be12:30 am our time as we don't go back until next Saturday!

Kareny Mam,

I don't know...it's now just after 9am here, so are you guys really 9 hours behind ?....Man , I'm shattered, been awake since Monday morning so that'll make it nice and sincere !

Yes on that day we were 9 hours behind.. but we just now turned our clocks back last Saturday night so now we are back at 8 hours behind you! In California here anyway!

Slept really well last night (mainly due to alcohol) but my husbands friend who actually likes getting up early phoned us at 7.30am. It is Saturday morning for god sake, what is wrong with him? My husband, sleeping off jetlag was really impressed. I think I will phone him at 1.30am and say "Oh were you asleep, I'm always up at this time. I thought everyone shared my sleep patterns."
PRAT!

The Observer Magazine is advertising a box that shines a moving blue light onto your ceiling and claims it is a cure for insomnia. Does it work? It is at www.nightwave.co.uk I think. I'm not suggesting anyone buys it. I'm not spamming and I don't own shares in it honest!!!!!!

Hello fellow insomniacs. I am a 40 year old male and have had sleep maintenance insomnia for approx 12 years now. It is much better than it used to be, I used to be on sleeping pills in order to get back to sleep but finally I got off the meds. Now I usually get back to sleep after waking, but not always that well, I often feel quite poorly when I don't get enough sleep.

Neilep, I just read your story in the Guardian, I am sorry to hear how bad you have had it. I'm glad to hear you have managed family and work life around it.

I am wondering, has anyone tried that idea suggested at the beginning of this thread concerning sleeping with the body tilted? It sounds interesting, but has it worked for anyone?

Hi All.. Finished all my hospital rounds today physical therapy some electric muscle stimulation and heat therapy and came home and crashed for the remainder of the day!.. Now I can't sleep and its because I am just not tired anymore tonight!

I hate that when they turn that stuff up to high it makes my hip and leg jump up off the table before he turns it down.. makes my chest hurt and gets my nerves on edge... Not good...

 Has anyone else ever had that used to treat pain in the joints and muscles for hip problems?

Anyway.. I can't sleep.. Millions of things in my head.. I need to do tons of stuff in the next couple weeks that will last for many years.... hoping to give my children some special things for Christmas.... Photos stories and many things that will pertain to their childhood that I will not be able to tell them later.. but that I want them to have as they start their own families...
Stories about the things they did.. their medical issues and little things too.. a lock of their baby hair a favorite toy.. you know.. a treasure box of memories for each of them...

I find myself so bored at night during the dark hours.. used to be I was able to cope with it... but these days its just dark hours and silence.. no music.. no one posting LOl..  just eerie quietness.

I hope you are all sleeping and resting...
sweet dreams to you all!
